Okay, maybe this is my middle aged person rant, but it seems like films used to be lit better. It's like they got better cameras and better editing tools, and thought we'll just fix everything in post, but something got lost. When you see great lighting, you really appreciate the art form it is.
@RickiTarr Day-for-night filming seems to be making a big comeback as well. (Shooting a scene during the day and then slapping on a dark blue filter so that it looks like night.) Maybe it never really went away, but I only used to notice it in old movies, and now I see it all the time.
Y'all I went to a speakeasy tonight, and you had to find the way in. There was an old phone with a secret panel, and you had to open it and ring a doorbell, and then you had to go online, and find the password. It was We Jazz June. So, I got curious and it was from this poem:
A sweet little girl said I was pretty today, and my first instinct was to correct her, and seriously, that kind of bullshit is why girls and women have to struggle with self image throughout their lives. So, I said, thank you, and told her she looked pretty too.
Like imagine saying, Actually kiddo, I'm fat, and short, and I have a big ole moon face, and weird hair, and...
I don't want to put that energy out in the world anymore. Anyway, y'all look pretty today.
@RickiTarr Poor people simply have more positive experiences with sharing. They are more likely to have experienced the thankfulness on the receiving end and therefore try to replicate and "repay" with their small means.
Okay, this is kinda long, but it's also really funny. Watch it or don't watch, it's fine, I care about you being entertained, but I don't want you to feel uncomfortable. Listen, it's just a guy giving a Snake legs, it's a totally normal affront to god.
I love when the world tells older women they are becoming irrelevant and invisible, and they're just like, Good, now I can do what I want, and no one will bother me.
